 Lifelong
Learning
Program
The Lifelong Learning Program is an opportunity
for experiencing the joy of learning! The LLP is
a collaboration by Colgate University and the
community to provide adults with ongoing
education for the enrichment of their lives in a
diversity of fields. The LLP is a membership
organization run by its members, all of whom are
LLP students.
The program gives members access to an unlimited
number of programs, seminars and special events.
Lifelong Learning programs have been called a
"health club for the brain". Membership in the
LLP develops insight, stimulates curiosity and
satisfies the intellect. The LLP provides an
opportunity for social interaction and
intellectual gain in a group atmosphere. Members
have the opportunity to develop new ideas and
gain a better understanding of the community,
the world and oneself!
